Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

Former pardon attorney Liz Oyer was unjustifiably fired by Trump.

Folks, it’s not a failure at all. It’s deliberate and calculated. If the press don’t report on the activities, then the only source of information from the Pentagon becomes its propaganda machine. They can’t announce one. They need to make the public think they were forced into it. #EpsteinFiles

What about the 1st Amendment you Fuk!

Wednesday, most Pentagon Press Association members are likely to hand over their badges rather than acknowledge a policy that gags Pentagon employees and threatens retaliation against reporters who seek information that has not been pre-approved for release.

Pete Hegseth’s New Pentagon Press Policy Is a Miserable Failure

Even the Defense secretary’s former employer, Fox News, is balking at the new restrictions.

Anti-Mamdani super PACs have joined forces to try to stop Zohran from becoming the next Mayor of NYC.

Oil industry heir and director of Chevron John Hess has donated $1 million alone. But all their money means nothing when the people are united.

Keep up the momentum for Mamdani 💪🏾
